CanJam at RMAF 2013: Saturday Night Beer Social

Now a tradition at CanJam @ RMAF, the Saturday night beer social was simply good clean fun...well good fun, anyway. Two people are to be thanked for the great time had Saturday night. Jude Mansilla, of course, was one. He not only allowed for the time and bought kegs of beer, he also generously tipped the hotel staff working the event to keep it open long into the evening. Jude, as always, was a thoughtful host, and a real mensch for keeping the doors open late for the community to blow off some steam. Thanks mate, you're golden. I tried to get a picture of him, but mostly he was tucked in behind his camera firing frames at a madding pace.

The other hero of the evening was Todd Green of Todd the Vinyl Junkie. Todd made a little pilgrimage through south-west Montana visiting numerous small breweries, and amassing a collection of 29 growlers of extraordinarily good beer, which he generously shared with the crowd. He also had a couple of cases of beer glasses made for the event and handed them out freely. I worked with Todd long before I hired him as HeadRoom' sales manager, and I can say with full confidence he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting, both professionally and personally.
